An Aldi spokesperson said: “A processing error led to a number of our customers at some of our Midlands stores being charged again on Thursday 24 August for transactions originally made on Friday 4 and Monday 7 August. All affected customers were automatically reimbursed within 24 hours.

“We are sorry for this error and any inconvenience caused to our customers. The issue is now resolved, but if customers require any further assistance, we advise them to contact our Customer Services team."

Aldi said it has since reversed the payments, the Mirror reports, but some customers complained that the money still hasn't been returned to them.

Affected customers have been told to contact the supermarket to complain if they've been stung by overdraft or other fees as a result, including proof of the fees.

"While customers will not be charged more than the initial transaction amount made in our store, any overdrawing of your account caused by the second charge will need to be addressed with your bank directly," Aldi said replying to one complaining customer.
